Building

The house at Badgasse 3 was the residence of a Jewish family from 1618 to 1879. Before the synagogue was built on Neue Strasse in 1800, it was the prayer room of the Jewish community. Its last Jewish owner was the cattle dealer Hermann Stern , who on March 25, 1933, became the first Württemberg victim of National Socialist anti-Semitism.

In 1999, the Creglingen Jewish Museum Foundation acquired the dilapidated building and had it restored.
